Question Is there an Access viewer download?

[Bloodrayne]

Hi all,

I have an access database that I've been developing on my main PC; I now need to demonstrate this to someone who does not have a version of Access on their machine - I wondered if there was a 'read-only' version of Access that I could download/buy and use to demonstrate the system, and then just stick to using my home PC as the sole place to update the database until they get themselves sorted.

Thanks in advance

You don't say which version you have used. Here are some links for the runtime for 2003, 2007, 2010.

Thanks! 2007 was the one I was after

Technically the 2003 runtime is only licenced for applications written by developers who have purchased the Developer Extensions. Runtime 2007 has no restrictions so should be used for 2007 and 2003 databases.

Runtime 2007 runs mdb databases quite happily and provides a more modern user interface.
